No more Accidents or Lawn Brown SpotsNoticed my yard had brown spots in March. My dog wet my bed and had accidents frequently too through out the home. She was so embarrassed and would hide. Poor baby. Vet recommended Urinary SO for her Struvite crystals. My dog Carly has been on it for 3 months and all problems gone. I decided since she was doing so well I could switch her to the same dog food my other dog uses. WRONG! In a matter of days she wet the bed and hid and my grass had brown spots again. Carly is on Royal Canin Urinary SO for life. My vet informed me more severe complications would occur if I took her off this food again. Thanks goodness for Royal Canin

Royal Canin Urinary S/O Dry Dog FoodMy dog/baby girl. Precious has been eating Royal Canin Urinary S/O for several years. She loves it. She has a history of bladder stones. He vet prescribed this when she had surgery to remove some stones. In July, she had surgery to remove a kidney. After both her regular vet and the group of surgeons at the specialty center reviewed her diet, they all agreed that this was still the best choice for her. They have suggested that we add the canned food to the dry and she's just loving it. The only drawback is that she likes it a little too much. She's constantly asking to be fed. As I said earlier, Precious is my baby and I only want the best for her.

GREAT FOR DOGS WITH BLADDER STONESMy Shih Tzu has been on this food for over two years following a bout with bladder stones. Since being on this special food she has had no more bladder stones. Why don't they offer coupons for this food? There has never been a coupon and the food has gone up in price twice she she has been on it. She loves the food and there is no problem with her eating it. My question is why don't you make treats for dogs on prescription food? My dog loves to chew and chews everything in sight unless I remove it from her environment. A special treat along this dog food would be deeply appreciated along with a coupon once in a while.

I wanted him to love itI bought this food, due to the vet letting me know that it was this or another brand, and I was hoping for love for this food. However, after a few days, he was so constipated, bloated, and felt bad, he would no longer eat. I had to take him to the vet, again, and put him on medication and a new food. The food has such a strong smell, I can almost see why. So, I immediately removed him from this, started him with another food, and he has lined out. I have saw many other statements about the same issues online. My little guy had surgery and has been through so much, a dog food should not cause more issues. Hopefully some others will have no issues!

Recommended by our vetOur veterinarian recommended this after we had to bring our Yorkie-Maltese in with bladder stones. We'd been feeding him higher protein food that had created the problem. Since feeding the Royal Canin Urinary SO to him, he has not had a problem with the stones.
My only concern with this food is that it makes him have to urinate much more frequently, requiring walks every few hours. Obviously, this isn't possible when working all day. Even when walking in the morning and coming home for lunch to walk him is a stretch. It's essentially led to me only feeding him this food when we'll be home all day to walk him frequently.

Does what it claims (What more could you ask for?)When Mabel was about two years old the vets noted that was likely to develop painful (and expensive) kidney stones if I kept her on regular foods. It has been over two years now and her urine pH is healthy every time we check and have had zero issues with her kidneys since the switch. I can't ask for a product to do anything more than what it claims to do, but so often today it seems products do far less than they claim: Royal Canin foods do what you expect them to.
It's a little costly as she eats 4 cups of it a day, but I can't put a price on her health. If it were a bit more affordable I'd give it 5 stars.

Works well but priceyWe have been buying this food since our dog was diagnosed with bladder stones and had to have surgery when she was only a little over a year old. We were told to start using Urinary so and we did. It seems to work well, keep in mind that you have to make sure you don't feed them table food or other junk-which we never did, but the issue I have with the food is that there are rarely coupons for it and at $75/bag, it gets really expensive fast... especially when you have a mortgage, daycare for two kids, etc.. I wish more coupons were issued because a bag lasts about 1.25-1.5 months and I am going broke.
